The Chimney Sweeper is pain in conjunction with the exploitation of children during the late 1700's. William Blake put a bold and raging tone in his first sentence, first line "when my mother died" (line 1), in addition "my father sold me" (line 3) further showing the need to bring out the pain and suffering of the children and sweepers during this period of time.
